This week’s The Halo Bulletin Bravo included information on next week’s special event: Big Team Objective finally comes to Halo 4 War Games as “Big Team Skirmish”, replacing the 6v6 Team Objective currently in place. The Bulletin also included changes coming to Dominion, read on for the summary.
Big Team Skirmish
Big Team Infinity Slayer will remain a separate playlist, since it is the most popular Halo 4 playlist at this time. Capture the Flag will come up on Longbow, Ragnarok and Complex. King of the Hill will be seen on Exile and Longbow, and Big Team Regicide will come up on Complex and Settler.
Dominion
Power weapons have been toned down in base resupplies and a new gametype called Lockdown has been added. Lockdown is sort of a “Neutral Dominion”, with teams battling over one central base. Details in the game settings are as follows:
- Score to win: 100
- Capture Points: 0
- Standard Capture Time: 1
- Fortified Capture Time: 5
- Fortify Points: 0
- Fortify Time: 15
- Resupply Points: 10
- Resupply Frequency: 25
- Last Stand: False
Bravo describes Lockdown as “hectic, nonstop, and full of big explosions” – – sounds like my kind of fun!

Bravo reminds us that they are listening to feedback from the community, and that they intend to add additional maps and gametypes to Big Team Skirmish, so they’d like to know what you’d like to see get included in the playlist.
